I spent my childhood in culture revolution. So I know what it is.
Compared with many Chinese families which were brutally treated, my family did not suffer that much. At least, my dad survived.
I can pardon the people who made mistakes. But I can't tolerate your opinions of ``culture revolution saved China".
Mao is the person who needs to take the responsility of disterous culture revolution. No one else.
Let me say once more: no one invaded China in 1949 - 1976.
The nuclear weapon was sucessfully tested in 1964, before culture revolution. Some of our teachers participated in the project, and so I know it well.
